I feel like an idiot! I was using the manuals that came with my first PM3
and they don't cover half the stuff I needed to look up! At least I
couldn't find it... I finally unpacked the new manuals and saw that they
were much thicker than the first ones (although the covers were the same
color....grrrr!)

I went through the all new chapter 11 and got this pretty much licked. I
got all the ports to show idle but a "sh line0" status still shows the line
as down. I believe this may be because I ordered # of DNIS digits sent on
wink start as zero based on the provisioning guide on the Livingston web
site. The PM3 provisioning guide on the Livingston web site doesn't say
anything about DNIS digits needing to be one, in fact, (I just checked), it
says DNIS isn't used and will be supported in a future release. However,
the new manual says, page 11-10, "ComOS 3.6-and-later releases require one
DNIS digit."

So, Megazone...which is right?
